Dunkin and Lucky’s after TSAFree terminal Wi-FiLactation and 24-hour meditation rooms24-hour McDade hallGarage and Lots A/B/DTicketed lounge
Official FAQ wants 90 minutes; TSA opens about 4:00 a.m.
Official FAQ prints a 90-minute arrival, a 24/7 Joseph M. McDade Terminal, and a TSA checkpoint that opens daily at approximately 4:00 a.m. Airline contracts of carriage on that page still close check-in 30 minutes and the gate 15 minutes before departure.
One McDade hall at 100 Terminal Drive — do not invent /airports/kavp
Official pin is 100 Terminal Drive, Avoca, PA 18641. One scheduled-passenger campus. Do not create /airports/kavp. Do not merge ABE, MDT, PHL, EWR, IPT, or WBW.
Dunkin and Lucky’s are concessions — not an airline lounge
Official Food & Lodging puts both Dunkin and Lucky’s Craft Food & Drink on the second level past the Security Checkpoint. Dunkin opens about 4:30 a.m. until the last departure. Lucky’s opens about 10:30 a.m. with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a full bar.

One Horseheads hall, not a KELM page
Official pages print one commercial hall at 276 Sing Sing Rd #1. Official pages print Bluestone before TSA and Grub & Go after security. Official pages print a mothers room after TSA near Gate 1.
Eat Bluestone before TSA if you want the sit-down
Official pages print Bluestone landside before the TSA checkpoint. Official pages print food through security, no beverages. Official pages print Grub & Go after security for snacks, breakfast, Starbucks coffee, and beverages.
AVP · A one-hall Avoca field with printed American, United, and Breeze frequencies, $13–$17 official parking, and no ticketed lounge — easy when you hit the 90-minute window, thin once Lucky’s is closed.
ELM · A one-hall Chemung County field with $12 / $11 / $9 parking, landside Bluestone, airside Grub & Go, and no passenger lounge — useful for Detroit and Florida turns if you hit the official 45-minute bag close.
